Mortimer, 22, will join the Roosters from the Parramatta Eels who have granted him a release.

Sydney Roosters recruitment manager Peter O’Sullivan believes Mortimer will be a valuable asset to the club.

“Daniel suits the Roosters style of play and with his ability to play five eighth or halfback, we see him playing a key utility role, adding great depth to our halves alongside the likes of Braith Anasta and Mitchell Pearce.

“Daniel is widely regarded as a quality person on and off the footy field and we are looking forward to watching him develop as part of our team over the coming seasons.”
